Vegas is always a bit of craic, let's be thankful he's on with BOC and not Tubs.

Lady Chatterton

I thought Fatima came across really well, she seems like a nice lady.

Looking forward to Johnny Vegas.

I saw him in a Pub in Rathmines one night after he had filmed the Podge and Rodge Show in RTE. He was hilarious, exactly the same in real life as he is on TV.

Hey forgot about Brendan, was watching X factor,

Skid

These lads should get on their bikes and head back to Bombay.

Very dreary.

Its called Mumbai now didnt you get the memo.

Lady Chatterton

Duignan is being very modest, he was a very good hurler in his day.

Lady Chatterton

His wife sounds like she was an incredibly brave woman.

Skid

This Interview seems to be going on for ages.

Skid

Did you see the Woman coming out from behind the curtain? :pac:

Lady Chatterton

Johnny's wife is very pretty

Lady Chatterton

Very awkward interview

Rumple Fugly

Well Holy God! He obviously has a few shillings about him

Fentdog84

Wow what happened? Johnny Vegas used to be insanely funny...Probably since he stopped drinking, lost a load of weight and married a gold digger.. shame on him

hondasam

I never thought Johnny was very funny.
Good old Eddie, puts the country to rights.

ThePower11

I was looking forward to Johnny Vegas been on tonight but I have to say it was a huge let down, he's not funny anymore and O' Connor's fake laughing was cringeworthy.

She looks like Grainne Seoige, lucky bastard!

flyaway.

I thought the miscarriage 'joke' was in poor taste and don't understand why it got laughs...

Maybe I'm oversensitive. :P

Fentdog84

I think what Eddie is trying to say basically is that we are all ****ed..

I wouldn't pay too much attention to what he has to say.

Don't be jealous now, public service is a great place to work.

I was in the audience for this last night. The band weren't there live, it was pre-recorded.

Johnny Vegas stayed on the chair during the ad and provided the best laugh of the night.

We nearly fell asleep listening to the GAA person. I don't get why a weekend chat show would include these misery stories. I would expect that during the week on the radio, but not on a Saturday.

Lots of free wine beforehand though

Lapin

Just watching this now.

Fatima Whitbred came across as a genuine honest person with none of the airs and graces or bullshít of many of her peers. She was some athlete in her day too.

Looking forward to Vegas after these ads !

I agree Fatima was a really nice guest. (I watched the programme last night) Personally, I found the interview with Vegas very awkward but I hope you enjoy it!

Yeah I was gonna post about how nice Fatima Whitbread was... but unfortunately last nite (after a bottle of wine) I was a bit drunk, and started wondering about the coincidence of her being named Whitbread AND her trainer being called Whitbread... it's kind of embarrassing now

Awkward sums it up. He didn't seem to be on form at all and came across like he didn't want to be there.

Wow, what a treat for you! I know how much you admire Jim. What was it you said before.......oh yes, I remember now, you said that he was your favourite economist of all time, you admire him so much because he predicted the "soft landing"

Me and my plus (not Jonathan ) drank A LOT of the free wine, we were going out afterwards.

It's a small way of feeling better for paying the licence fee! ha

We were really annoyed there was no prize for the audience, although he did give out two bottles of wine to birthday people in the audience during the ad. So pretend it's your birthday if you want to get a prize on the Sat Night Show.
